Carrie Underwood Earns RIAA 2x Platinum for "Temporary Home"
Temporary Home earns RIAA 2x Platinum for Carrie Underwood, recognizing 2,000,000 units on October 30, 2025.
Carrie Underwood, a prominent figure in contemporary country music, has consistently demonstrated her ability to connect with audiences through storytelling and powerful vocals. Since rising to fame, she has become one of the genre's most celebrated artists, maintaining a significant following and commercial success throughout her career.
Released on October 20, 2009, "Temporary Home" is a poignant single from Underwood's third studio album, Play On. The song's narrative explores the perspectives of individuals in transient life situations-such as a child in foster care and a woman in a hospice-who find solace in viewing their current circumstances as temporary. The central theme, as described by Genius, is about people who are "just passing through" and the grace found in accepting life's impermanent stages.
On October 30, 2025, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) officially certified "Temporary Home" as 2x Platinum. This milestone signifies 2,000,000 certified units, which include digital sales and streaming equivalents. The certification was awarded to the digital single released by 19 Recordings Limited / Arista Nashville, marking another significant achievement for the country superstar.
